Sorry, it's not 100% clear what you mean. Which icons are you talking about transfering over to your new PC.How many surrealists does it take to change a lightbulb?

Sorry guess I wasn't very clear. The icons on the monitor such as Microsoft word, My documents, Windows explorer , Microsoft excel,etc etc . How would I transfer these to my new pc.0

Normally the default icons are installed when you install the associated programs:
e.g. When you install Microsoft Word, .doc files get the Microsoft Word Icon.0 -
Transferring the icons will do no good.
You will need to install the progams which the icons access onto the new PC. It is not possible to transfer the programs due to the registry changes and other actions which the install routines make.
Like someone else just said really. :-[
I'll get me coat. ;D0 -
Thanks for all the help0
